My sig is a little less dramatic than that in terms of where it originates from. Made us all laugh a few times though. Eh, Ellistine?

Indeed. However when spoken, the comma is a little less easy to distinguish as you announce it at high volume the pub :oops:

Basel
Grenoble-Lyon
Friedrichshafen
Milan
Salzburg

From experience, where would be best to aim for, where there are good and regular public transport links direct to ski areas with shortish travel times from the airports?

Looking at some time early of late feb, not during school holidays.

Thanks

Basel.

Train: Straight onto ICE into Interlaken (circa. 1h50) 30 minute train ride to centre of Grindelwald.

Car: Hire at airport, 166 km – about 1 hour 52 mins.

Scratch that. I made the link from skiing/boarding equipment to avalanche equipment subconsciously. If this was intended by the OP I would agree from a logical standpoint, but I don't think that's what he/she meant.

I am not sure but I think the OP was driving at the point you just made, that being well equipped does not make you safe. Indeed as awareness gets better the stats look better, but the fact that equipped persons increasingly get injured or killed in proportion to the non-equippped means that the sense of safety is heightened amongst those not fully informed, by the availability of equipment and (sad to say) modern marketing of aforementioned equipment.

I spent the first 11 years of my life there!!

I'll send you a PM later with a list of skills, available services and of course consultancy rates )

DIY.

Fly to a big airport connected to the rail (Munich or Basel are a good start, and available on low cost airlines) take a train and book the accomodation yourself.

If you need help with trains let me know.
